The knowledge of absolute values for cross sections of specific processes is of high interest in many fields of physics and especially for applications. In atomic clusters, decay mechanisms can differ significantly from those dominant in atoms. Absolute cross sections of these processes are attractive in many contexts, e.g. in astrophysics or applications of interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD). We present a new method to determine absolute cross sections for cluster-specific decay mechanisms using photon-induced fluorescence spectroscopy of a partially condensed gas jet. Once calibrated, this method also allows the characterization of cluster jets. In a first experiment, absolute cross sections of resonant ICD in Ne clusters and photon emission after inner-valence excitation in Ar clusters were measured.
